Ant Esports GM600 — What ₹699 Actually Buys You

Ant Esports is one of the few genuinely Indian gaming peripheral brands, and the GM600 is their entry-level wired gaming mouse sitting at ₹699–899. I want to be straight with you: this is a capable peripheral for what it costs, but the ceiling is visible from the box.

Performance at This Price

The GM600 uses a generic optical sensor rated to 3,200 DPI across four DPI steps. In practice, the 800 and 1,600 DPI settings are usable for gaming. The higher DPI settings feel floaty and imprecise — stick to the lower two. Tracking on cloth pads is acceptable; on hard pads I noticed some inconsistency at fast swipe speeds.

Click response is fine. The side buttons work. The RGB is basic — five static colors, no software control, cycles through a rainbow mode by default. There's no software at all, which is both a limitation and a relief (no bloatware).

Cable is roughly 1.5 meters with no braid. It develops memory coils over time, which adds drag. At ₹699, I'm not complaining — this is what the price allows.

Where it shows its age: After several months of use, some users report the scroll wheel becoming inconsistent and the main clicks developing slight wobble. Build longevity is the honest weak point here.

India Availability

This is where Ant Esports actually wins. The GM600 is widely stocked on Amazon India and Flipkart, ships to tier-2 and tier-3 cities without the 1–2 week wait you'd see with less common brands, and is often available at local computer markets in major cities. No import duty complications — it's made for the Indian market.

Warranty is one year through Ant Esports' India service. I've seen mixed reports on the warranty claim process, so keep your bill.

Who Should Buy This

This makes sense for: school or college students building their first rig with a genuinely constrained budget, someone replacing a broken mouse urgently without wanting to spend more, or a second mouse for a secondary PC that sees light use.

Skip it if: you play competitive FPS and care about tracking consistency — the sensor will limit you. Also skip it if you plan to keep the same mouse for more than two years. At the ₹1,700 mark, the Logitech G203 LIGHTSYNC is in a completely different reliability class.
